Benefit of dual-chamber pacing with Closed Loop Stimulation in tilt-induced cardio-inhibitory reflex syncope (BIOSync trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND The efficacy of dual-chamber cardiac pacing in neuro-mediated reflex syncope with a cardio-inhibitory response to the Tilt-Table test (TT) has not been definitively assessed so far. The lack of reproducibility of results from previous studies may be partially explained by discrepancies in subject selection and some weaknesses in design and methods. The European Society of Cardiology ...

BACKGROUND Though vasovagal syncope probably does not directly cause death, it is often associated with severe trauma and, when recurrent, significantly impairs the patient's quality of life. While drug therapy for vasovagal syncope is still controversial, recently two randomized studies revealed the efficacy of dual-chamber pacemaker implantation in decreasing recurrences in very symptomatic p...
متن کاملTreatment of Reflex Syncope
This review assesses the role of all types of therapy for reflex syncope including physical counter-measures, diet, behavior, drugs and implantable devices. There are no drugs currently demonstrated to have convincingly beneficial effect by randomized controlled trial. However, provided that the patient experiences warning of an impending attack physical counter-measures are demonstrably effect...

AIMS Recently, some studies revealed the efficacy of pacemaker implantation in decreasing recurrences in patients with vasovagal syncope. As these studies were not blinded or placebo-controlled, the benefits observed might have been due to a bias in the assessment of outcomes or to a placebo effect of the pacemaker. We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in order to a...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether dual-chamber rate-adaptive Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS) could prevent recurrence of Vasovagal Syncope (VVS). BACKGROUND During VVS, an increase in myocardial contractility associated with a reduction of ventricular filling produces an increase in baroreceptor afferent flow and a consequent decrease in the heart rate. The CLS algorithm is a form of rate-adaptiv...
